SOLDIER’S ATTITUDE TO GERMANS.
“Mark my words, sir, there’ll De lots of crime in England when the hoys come back from France.”
Thus an invalided soldier to his host. The host, says the Daily Graphic, professed astonishment— “What do you mean?”
"I mean that the things me have seen with our own eyes have made thousands of us vow that if, when we get home, we ever meet a German in England, we’ll strangle him on the spot.
“What have I seen? Well, I could tell you—no, I simply couldn’t describe the horrors I have witnessed. Weak as I am to-day, if I knowingly met a German out in the streets of London I’d do my best to kill him.”
